Recently, in two different directions I have had to deal with big time lying. What happens when you confront a liar? They just lie some more or say they don’t recall what they said or some such words. Even in the face of two witnesses they can maintain their innocence. So what do you do in a relationship that is going nowhere fast?

You can take the conversation to a higher authority and let them be the judge: in a business that may be a boss, in a family that may be a parent. As a Christian we can even go before the throne of God in prayer and plead our case. If Jesus is our Savior, he is also our attorney in heaven. If our cause is just, we can trust the God of the universe to vindicate us and bring enduring justice. This may not happen overnight, but trust that God has the final say. Forgive the other person as God forgives each of us and leave it in God’s hands.
